If you are facing the seizure or freezing of your assets due to a financial investigation, Mayfairs Law Solicitors offers expert assistance and guidance.
The law relating to confiscation and asset recovery is complex and technical. These proceedings often require detailed analysis of financial records and the valuation of assets; combined with the strategic ability to look for and construct appropriate legal arguments which may seek to minimise the level of any order that the Court might make.
Freezing, Restraining and Confiscation of Assets
The government has a range of tools for confiscating suspected proceeds of crime, or freezing assets it believes are intended for criminal use. This usually happens as soon as an investigation starts, leaving the suspect in a difficult position right from the beginning.
Even if you ultimately do not face a criminal conviction, it’s possible your assets could still be seized because the prosecution often pursues confiscation through separate, civil proceedings. As this is not part of the main investigation, it can continue even if the criminal case against you has been concluded
